He was just collecting numbers, not cards.

And you know this how? Maybe he's collecting his favorite cards in the best condition he can find...nobody here knows his motive for collecting. The guy can afford to best so he buys the best.

I never said Kendrick was not a collector. I couldn't care less if he collected 1889 Old Judge or 1989 Donruss. As I stated, more power to him, particularly if it gives him satisfaction. He can call himself a collector all day every day for all I care.

By the same token, I do not have to be impressed at all by his collection, much less to the same degree as someone else. It is nice and I am somewhat impressed, but points about it containing no real scarcities other than through high-grade are valid. Such points are made all the time on this forum--some just couldn't care less about the slabbed grade and/or aren't impressed by what they consider mainstream sets/cards. C'est la vie and to each his own. To turn this into a discussion about how some are just jealous of other's money misses the mark, IMO.

And why would that bother anyone even if they did? It's their money. Heck they could buy the cards, crack them, throw the card away and keep the empty holder and flip and collect those, who cares?

If they own it then they can do what they want. I wouldn't really like it because it would be destroying part of history.....but it would be their call. (and I was just saying, really, who cares how others collect?)
